Man. I miss when ai generated images looked like garbled nonsense. Not only bc it was funny but bc I really enjoy painting over other pictures!! I used to be super into it a few years back and I would paint on top of pictures of mushrooms or paint swirls or flowers or whatever else. I did actually paint on top of ai art once back then!! I remember I generated smth for “man falling through clouds” and drew 100 hr Scar using that as my underpainting

It was a palette I’d have never tried without that underpainting, which is why it’s a fun experimental technique!! But now any ai art will just. Draw The Picture For You

#rambles #tempted to redo that painting of scar since I still have the og underpainting #and it’s been like 2 years or something #GOD 100 HOURS WAS TWO YEARS AGO. WHADDA HELL #anyways man I just really abhor the state of ai generated images and the disc horse surrounding it #ppl will treat any use of it like succumbing to Satan which is. not the answer unfortunately bc this isn’t going back in the bottle.#specifically thinking of how ppl were blowing up over straycatj posting an ai picture like girl this is just….. a very Online reaction #don’t get me wrong. I fuckin hate ai art. I’m an illusttration major with a specific focus on concept art which like #is my career gonna be replaced by ai before I even graduate??? this bullshit keeps me up at night #but the issue isn’t that touching ai whatsoever places a pox upon you and you should be outcast forever it’s that companies will turn to it #to replace artists #I wish I could use ai images in my workflow like this. I wish I could use it as a novelty to kickstart my process or as #an experimental underpainting. but now it just Draws The Image For Me which is not FUN
